Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand with a British passport and a history of a 2-year education visa. They currently hold 500k in their account for the required 3 months and are applying through an agent in Ho Chi Minh City. Commenters suggest that a minimum of 9 months of soft power activity is now recommended for a successful application, although some express that 6 months might still suffice. Previous education visas should not negatively impact the application process.

From what I'm seeing, 9 months of whichever soft power activity you are doing seems to be the recommended minimum now. It used to be 6 months, but things are changing. You MIGHT be ok with 6 months, but if you can you might want to sign up for the extra 3 months so you don't get rejected or given a METV instead of the DTV.

Having an ED visa in the past isn’t going to prevent you from future visas. Immigration wants you to be on the proper visa for your current situation. I had 3 consecutive EDs and had no problem getting approved for DTV.

Similar applicants posted their approval process. They should be in the threads. Are you applying in Hanoi?
